The new licence seems > to preclude this, forcing me to give away my source. I believe you've misunderstood the license. If you write code in O'Caml, the license doesn't impose anything on your software's license. The LGPL license on the runtime might force you to ensure that your program is physically separate from the runtime so that the runtime can be replaced by your customers if they so desire, but this says nothing about the license under which your software is distributed. If your software is a modification of O'Caml then indeed, the license might impose restrictions, but it's only fair. > for serious software development.
